Celebrating the Month of Love Valentine’s Day is upon us already! Wait, what? It’s February? I’m a lucky duck that gets a 4 day weekend from work and it’s President’s Day/Valentine’s Day weekend, so of course I’m concocting many plans to drive many hours to get away from the smog that’s currently taking over Salt […]

7 Unexpected Lessons from Working in the Service Industry

Essential Day Hiking Gear for Your Next Adventure

In the past couple years, I have learned a lot about the importance of learning what day hiking gear to bring out on the trails. What’s in your pack (and the pack itself) really matters!
